According to PCWorld, three Romanian men and one Austrian man were indicted on Monday by U.S. federal prosecutors. The four men stole over 1.5 Million U.S. dollars by cloning payment cards with stolen account information. The men are charged with skimming (recording account details from the magnetic stripe of payment cards while capturing a person’s PIN by using fake overlays on the number pads.

Accounts were targeted at Citibank, and JP Morgan Chase between March 2010 and May 2011. The affected cities included New York, Miami, and Chicago. The four stole about $110,000 per month over those fourteen months, perhaps splitting it four ways at about $27,000 each, per month ($324,000 individual ‘salary’).

CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, Kazuo Hirai offered an explanation for the Sony attacks less than a week before Sony’s June 2nd court date. Hirai undoubtedly pins the attacks to the Anonymous group who made a number of threats against Sony, immediately after Sony decided to pursue George Hotz for teaching others how to pirate. Let me also remind you that a file was found deep in Sony’s network that carried the slogan of the Anonymous group, “We are Legion” and the file was called “Anonymous.” Assuming Anonymous isn’t being framed by some rival hacking group (if there is one), all fingers point to them.

We’ve been covering the Sony situation with Geohotz, Anonymous, and the lawsuits involved. We know that you’ve already waited long enough for the PlayStation Network to get back online, but according to Sony’s Press Release , they are still working on delivering a system that is secure enough not to get breached again.
